At yesterday’s London Conference with @chathamhouse.org — the hottest day of the year but such a great event with so many brilliant attendees from all over the world. I love the people I work with and the events I get to go to. 🌞🌞🌞

ICYMI: Here’s my expert comment for @chathamhouse.org on why the X lawsuit against the Indian govt matters and why it’s so unusual. Regardless of the outcome, one to watch. Give it a read! 📝🇮🇳

Great piece from my friend Tom Brookes (formerly of @teamlabouruk.bsky.social ) on how there’s no magic potion or technological fix to win or lose elections - outsideopinion.substack.com/p/the-democr...

The genuine question I have whenever I see Trump’s new manoeuvres (if they can be called that) — where is the Democratic Party, and what are they doing??

Audrey Tang @audreyt.org (in conversation with @ginasue.bsky.social) is genuinely one of the coolest, cleverest, most engaged and engaging speakers I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Feel v lucky to have been in this room.

Super punchy start to @mctd.bsky.social Technology and Democracy Conference by @ginasue.bsky.social, followed by @zizip.bsky.social. Can’t wait for the next two days here in beautiful Cambridge—

Genuinely the hardest part about writing a book is opening the document. And not because the rest of writing is easy, just because it’s so hard to convince myself to open the document

I’m currently writing a book about India and technology and stories and society, which is both personal and (I hope!) informative! Would love any offbeat or interesting reading recs anyone has on anything related to these topics— from novels to non fiction. I am (always) all ears 👂 📚

📄 Excited to share a new dataset preprint! WikiReddit: Tracing Information and Attention Flows Between Online Platforms A collaboration with @beeeeeers.bsky.social, Viviane Ito, Agustin Orozco, and @ftripodi.bsky.social at @citap.bsky.social .

Welcome Nayana to the team! Incredibly excited to have you with us.

ICYMI: I started work this week as a Research Fellow at @chathamhouse.bsky.social! It’s been such a stimulating and exciting week so far and I’m delighted to have already met so many great people. Say hi and come visit if you’re in the House or nearby!! 👩‍💻

I’m now being followed by loads of porn bots on this platform which means Bluesky is starting to melt 🫠🫠

So excited to be starting as Research Fellow at @chathamhouse.bsky.social later this month, working with the most amazing team on really exciting stuff! Genuinely cannot wait to get started. Most impatient I’ve ever been in January! 🎉🎉

This period till just after New Year’s is another example of a lawless time. You can message anyone anything at any time (as long as it’s good vibes). You can eat and drink whenever. You can text your high school crush for the first time in a decade. go for it

Genuinely had no idea about this!

Has anyone got any book recs for a) the history of the internet in India and/or b) the 90s/2000s and changes in India during that period? #writing #nonfiction #india

The airport is a lawless place where there are no food rules and no calorie discussion. Have a beer at 11am. Get a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows. Anything goes

The wonderful @clemicollett.bsky.social is running these focus groups on generative AI and the novel, which offer a great chance to discuss how chat GPT, etc are used in writing/fiction/publishing etc, and how that makes you feel. More details in her tweet!

Couldn’t be more delighted to type this: I’m writing a book, and I’m now represented by the incredible Matthew Marland at RCW #literaryagency in London. A dream come true for me and the beginning of a very exciting journey! 📖 📚 www.rcwlitagency.com/authors/prak...
